<!-- $$$QFontDatabase-description -->
<div class="descr">
<h2 id="details">Detailed Description</h2>
<p>The most common uses of this class are to query the database for the list of font <a href="qfontdatabase.html#families">families</a>() and for the <a href="qfontdatabase.html#pointSizes">pointSizes</a>() and <a href="qfontdatabase.html#styles">styles</a>() that are available for each family. An alternative to <a href="qfontdatabase.html#pointSizes">pointSizes</a>() is <a href="qfontdatabase.html#smoothSizes">smoothSizes</a>() which returns the sizes at which a given family and style will look attractive.</p>
<p>If the font family is available from two or more foundries the foundry name is included in the family name; for example: &quot;Helvetica [Adobe]&quot; and &quot;Helvetica [Cronyx]&quot;. When you specify a family, you can either use the old hyphenated &quot;foundry-family&quot; format or the bracketed &quot;family [foundry]&quot; format; for example: &quot;Cronyx-Helvetica&quot; or &quot;Helvetica [Cronyx]&quot;. If the family has a foundry it is always returned using the bracketed format, as is the case with the value returned by <a href="qfontdatabase.html#families">families</a>().</p>
<p>The <a href="qfontdatabase.html#font">font</a>() function returns a <a href="qfont.html">QFont</a> given a family, style and point size.</p>
<p>A family and style combination can be checked to see if it is <a href="qfontdatabase.html#italic">italic</a>() or <a href="qfontdatabase.html#bold">bold</a>(), and to retrieve its <a href="qfontdatabase.html#weight">weight</a>(). Similarly we can call <a href="qfontdatabase.html#isBitmapScalable">isBitmapScalable</a>(), <a href="qfontdatabase.html#isSmoothlyScalable">isSmoothlyScalable</a>(), <a href="qfontdatabase.html#isScalable">isScalable</a>() and <a href="qfontdatabase.html#isFixedPitch">isFixedPitch</a>().</p>
<p>Use the <a href="qfontdatabase.html#styleString">styleString</a>() to obtain a text version of a style.</p>
<p>The QFontDatabase class also supports some static functions, for example, <a href="qfontdatabase.html#standardSizes">standardSizes</a>(). You can retrieve the description of a writing system using <a href="qfontdatabase.html#writingSystemName">writingSystemName</a>(), and a sample of characters in a writing system with <a href="qfontdatabase.html#writingSystemSample">writingSystemSample</a>().</p>

<p>Returns <code>true</code> if the font that has family <i>family</i> and style <i>style</i> is a scalable bitmap font; otherwise returns <code>false</code>. Scaling a bitmap font usually produces an unattractive hardly readable result, because the pixels of the font are scaled.

<p>This happens, for instance, on macOS and iOS, where the system UI fonts are not accessible to the user.
